The City of Santa Fe requires all fire protection companies doing work in the City to have a valid Certificate of Fitness from the Santa Fe Fire Department.

Ask companies for a copy of their Certificate of Fitness before any work is done. You may also call (505) 955-3310 to inquire about the status of a company.

To obtain a Certificate of Fitness, the companies must complete an application process. During this process, the Fire Department verifies that the company has met the minimum requirements of the State of New Mexico for the fire protection systems they install or service.

The companies must obtain a separate Certificate of Fitness for all the systems they install or service (e.g., fire alarms, sprinklers, hoods, and fire extinguishers). This Certificate of Fitness system ensures that the company doing the work adheres to the Fire Code and all other requirements. 

For inquiries regarding obtaining a Certificate of Fitness, contact the Fire Marshal at (505) 955-3310.
